OT068 - Original Yellow Flower Fireplace Tiles

Edwardian Fireplace tiles are now around 100 years old and have stood the test of time

Victorian tiles are at between 100 years old to 160 years old and once again have stood the test of time.

Tiles were as elaborate as they could be at first, mostly showing floral arrangements. Slowly other designs would surface like single coloured tiles, symmetrical, and sometimes symmetrical with flowers in the centre or 5 tile sets making 1 image

Towards the latter part of the Victorian period and the Edwardian period tiles got very exciting with elegant art nouveau and art deco designs which were hand painted and also tube line (raised), with some very vivid colours.

Tiles were the Victorian / Edwardian 'TV ' of the day – rich colours and elegant interior designs

so you where drawn into them especially when the fire was lit.

Hearth -the most popular hearth at the moment is a natural black slate hearth as it matches the overall image and is very plain. Here, at Strippadoor, we can cut slate to your exact dimensions for various uses i.e. * solid fuel (coal / logs) or for use with a gas effect or simply decorative.

Generally the hearth is pretty much the same overall width as the mantle - for example a mantle that is 44" long, the hearth would be the same at 44", and with a depth of around 15" this makes a perfect image. Strippadoor puts a extra T onto the back of the hearth to go into the first part of the hole making a much better image from the front.

The price for the above for decorative is £ 195 plus vat - for gas effect the hearth needs to be raised - we call this plinthing and this is an extra £38 plus vat and finally for *solid fuel the hearth, to meet the HETAS regulation, needs to be cut into three to reduce any change of cracking then put back together using steel wires with a lighter concrete base inside - this is quite a lot of additional work but essential so the added price to the £ 195 here is a further 78 making a total of £270 plus vat.

Please note we can cut to any size but the base price of the hearth will both reduce if smaller and increase if larger

Other hearths available - tiled hearth, granite hearths at an additional cost

Gas Effects are available for the majority of the fires at a cost of approx. £ 255 - £ 380 plus vat subject to whether they have to be template made or are standard. Please note you will need an ash pan front cover to hide the workings of the gas effect underneath - more often than not these are within the price of the fireplace however if there is not one on the picture then this is an additional to order of around £ 25 - £ 35
